Bembo Fountain is a Venetian fountain on Kornarou Square with a headless ancient statue. Its mixture of Venetian design and older sculpture makes a short architectural stop worthwhile.

The fountain brings a headless ancient statue into a Venetian composition of columns and coats of arms. That visible reuse shows how civic design in Heraklion incorporated material from earlier eras. Its position on Kornarou Square makes it a compact architectural stop with a different emphasis from the larger Morosini Fountain at Lions Square.
What to look for
A headless ancient statue is set into the fountain.
Columns and coats of arms frame its façade.
